About me:
Artists! Here's a great tool to promote house concerts to your fans. Link or embed this in your myspace, facebook, or emails, and help us create hundreds of new opportunities for artists.


Concertsinyourhome.com is the most comprehensive and current source of house concert information on the web.

House concerts are intimate music performances, usually solo or duo acts, performing in someone's living room. Hosts promote the shows to their friends, co-workers, and neighbors, and collect a $8-15 donation per guest. The shows are usually unplugged or with a very small p.a. system, and attended by 20-40 people.

These concerts can be very rewarding for performers who are comfortable talking with their audience, and who have a bit of personality to go with their great songs and performances. House concert hosts create great and memorable experiences for their friends and community.

Is this for you? Consider joining as an artist or as a host.

..

Interested artists should visit the site and take time to appreciate all the helpful and free information. To create an artist profile, we charge a modest yearly fee, most of which is used to fund a professional promotion campaign. For house concert hosts, our services are free. List your house concert series for free, and send us your events to have them listed on your state's calendar.

We hope to hear from you.

--Fran

Who I'd like to meet:

1. Artists who can perform unplugged or close to it, for 75-90 minutes. We are especially interested in those willing to work their fanbase to help expand the house concert market.

2. Music fans (and artists) who would like to host a concert in their home.

3. Music and arts organizations that would like to support our efforts.

4. Music-lovers who are interested in attending house concerts, wherever they might be.

Is this you? Consider joining as an artist or as a host.

Why play in someone's living room instead of a club? House concert presenters develop a reputation for top-notch performances in a very intimate setting. In doing so, they often develop some degree of a built-in audience. For an artist playing in a new market (town), that audience usually provides much better results than trying to draw a significant crowd to a coffeehouse or a club. It's a great way to break into a market, and to start developing a fanbase that might eventually allow you to have a profitable show in a more traditional venue. Many artists claim that without house concerts, they would actually play fewer clubs - because they wouldn't be able to tour.
